Buzz Out Loud 808: Apple, give us our Podcaster!

Gabriel My guess on iTunes.
Bill Portland A couple of iTunes announcements we missed.
Rob from Philly I had to install Real Player.
On yesterday’s show (807), you mentioned that TiVo should buy Sling. However, Sling is owned by Echostar (Dish Network), who has a dispute with TiVo over their DVR technology. A great idea would be for Dish to license TiVo’s DVR technology and TiVo to license Dish’s Sling technology.

Hey Buzz people,
That’s right, Apple has rejected my application because it duplicates the functionality of the desktop iTunes application. What!
Here is the e-mail they sent
“Since Podcaster assists in the distribution of podcasts, it duplicates the functionality of the Podcast section of iTunes.”
That just sucks. It really sucks. Maybe they should reject all calculator applications because they already have a calculator.
Anyway, just thought you would want to know as this is juicy news.
Keep up the good work.

Hey there all powerful buzz crew. Just wanted to let ya’ll know that the analog signal is being used to display a message with the hot line. I know this because I took a day trip to the beach and in the morning my portable TV worked but after lunch every station had that notice. By the way I thought it was cool that the FCC paid fire departments $15 per converter they helped install, I think I read it in the WSJ, but do a live.com search to be certain . Love the show.
